Nick Tilsley shows worrying signs of
maturity this week when Eva decides he's too old to be still
living with his mum - and he doesn't disagree. Egged on by
Eva, he goes to view a flat, with Gail tagging along for the
ride. And her verdict after the viewing? "I could sense
death in that toilet." There's probably a special Harpic you
can buy.
But never mind the loo of death, it's a
teenage lesbian wedding we need to talk about now.
Done up in matching meringues, Sian and Sophie prepare to
exchange vows at the church before it all goes screechingly
wrong. Kevin tries to have words with Sophie before church,
words about Amber and not being committed to Sian but Sophie
doesn't want to hear. She marches up the aisle and just as the
girls are about to swap "I do's", Kevin blurts out to all
present that his daughter's having second thoughts.
Sophie falters at the altar as Sally with her fascinator and
Sunita without join in Kevin's hymn until there was a chorus
of dissenters and tears streaming down Sophie's face. Anyway,
the wedding's called off and Sian leaves the Street driven
away by her mum. Not many have left the Street driven away by
their mum. I liked it, it was a nice touch. Sophie
spends the rest of the week in tears, telling anyone who'll
listen that her life is over without Sian and she's got nowt
to live for, not now.
Bad news for those of us
who aren't fans of Stella Price. This week Karl takes Stella's
Christmas present of cash from her Aunty Vi and puts it on a
nag at the bookies where it wins big. This means Karl and
Stella are closer to putting down a deposit to buy The Rovers
Return. Tune in for next week's Stellanation
Street.
Over at freaky Frank's factory, the wonderful
Beth returned to Coronation Street and got herself a job as a
knicker stitcher. As the country goes into recession, the
bottom clearly hasn't dropped out of women's pants.
Frank's mum Anne doesn't want Beth working for them, she's
clearly too common for someone like Anne but Frank knows
Beth's a grafter and gives her a job. She says: "I'm so glad I
glued me false tooth in now."
Meanwhile Anne
pays Carla a visit at her flat and tells her if she drops the
charges against Frank she can have Underworld back. It's
Bribery 101 and it's all heard by Peter but as he's hiding in
the bedroom, it'll have to be Carla's word against Anne's for
now. Carla finds out that Frank's hosting a drinks party at
home for Underworld clients, so she storms round there and
gives a little speech, letting Frank's customers know just
what a sleaze ball he is. Mind you, it's something that
Sally hasn't cottoned on to just yet, and she's there at the
drinks do, all dolled up. At the end of the night when it's
just Frank and Sally alone on the sofa with the red wine, he
tells her the wine reminds him of her. "It's strong yet
delicate, with subtle undertones," he coos as Sally leans in
for a snog. But he clearly doesn't know Sally very well. She's
more of a cheap and fruity, little cheeky
Lambrini.
Down at Nick's Bistro, there's a speed dating
night. Julie and Marcus plot to get Eileen there in her best
bib and tucker in the hope that she'll meet someone who'll
take her mind off Fireman Paul and the romance that is going
nowhere. Eileen spends five minutes being speed dated by a
Grumbleweed before telling
him to sling his hook and she pushes him against the fire
alarm in the bar. The alarm goes off, the fire crew arrives
lead by Fireman Paul and the romance that is going nowhere
looks like it's back on.
And finally this week, Rosie
gets a new agent and a new modeling job but when she finds out
that she's modelling cycling wear, she's not best
pleased. She's even less happy when the agent eyes up
Jason for some man modeling too.
And that's just about
that for this week. Remember, you can sign up to get these
